This book! It's like the Real Housewives of Whatevertown on steroids! The three narrative threads are from unlikable, unreliable characters. I was engrossed and drawn into how the storylines combine and overlap. This book! What a thrill ride! There are twists, and just when I was accepting what was happening and to whom, BLAM! Another wild twist. There were moments I didn't dare to speculate what might happen because the twists were overlapping.
Having said that, the pacing is a slow build of cat-and-mouse. The voice actor, Imogen Church, captured the three distinct characters, and her narration heightened the tension.
I want to put this book into my friends' hands to discuss it!
From the publisher:
The perfect neighborhood can be the perfect place to hide…
Who wouldn’t want to live in Brighton Hills? This exclusive community on the Oregon coast is the perfect mix of luxury and natural beauty. Stunning houses nestle beneath mighty Douglas firs, and lush backyards roll down to the lakefront. It’s the kind of place where neighbors look out for one another. Sometimes a little too closely…
Cora thinks her husband, Finn, is cheating—she just needs to catch him in the act. That’s where Paige comes in. Paige lost her son to a hit-and-run last year, and she’s drowning in the kind of grief that makes people do reckless things like spying on the locals, searching for proof that her son’s death was no accident…and agreeing to Cora’s plan to reveal what kind of man Finn really is. All the while, their reclusive new neighbor, Georgia, is acting more strangely every day. But what could such a lovely young mother possibly be hiding?
